Abstract

Objective: Compression pressure (CP) measurement is necessary as it represents the dosage of compression therapy (CT). It is almost always neglected, leading to a poor understanding of compression outcomes, especially when applying bandages or wraps. This work aims to present a measuring compression device validation system and underline the clinical impact of CP measurement.

Method: The tested device was submitted to validation tests to assess its accuracy, linearity and repeatability. The tests included measuring the pressure under a known weight, along and on the bottom of a water column, in parallel with a sphygmomanometer and under a sphygmomanometer applied to a plastic tube, as well as to a human leg.

Results: The tested device showed good concordance with the theoretical pressure exerted by a known weight, water, a sphygmomanometer cuff, and when paralleled to a sphygmomanometer.

Conclusion: The tested device provided accurate, linear and repeatable data in all tested conditions. Its use is recommended to improve healthcare providers' skills in applying the correct pressure and to increase the scientific value of studies on CT.

一种压缩压力测量装置的验证及其临床影响。

目的：压缩压力（CP）测量是必要的，因为它代表了压缩治疗（CT）的剂量。它几乎总是被忽视，导致对压迫结果的理解不足，特别是在使用绷带或包裹时。这项工作旨在提出一个测量压缩装置验证系统，并强调CP测量的临床影响。方法：对所测装置进行准确性、线性度和重复性验证试验。测试包括在已知重量下测量压力，沿着水柱底部测量压力，与血压计平行测量压力，在塑料管上测量压力，以及在人腿上测量压力。结果：所测装置与已知重量、水、血压计袖带以及与血压计平行时所施加的理论压力具有良好的一致性。结论：该装置在所有测试条件下均能提供准确、线性、可重复的数据。建议使用它来提高医疗保健提供者应用正确压力的技能，并增加CT研究的科学价值。

期刊介绍： Journal of Wound Care (JWC) is the definitive wound-care journal and the leading source of up-to-date research and clinical information on everything related to tissue viability. The journal was first launched in 1992 and aimed at catering to the needs of the multidisciplinary team. Published monthly, the journal’s international audience includes nurses, doctors and researchers specialising in wound management and tissue viability, as well as generalists wishing to enhance their practice. In addition to cutting edge and state-of-the-art research and practice articles, JWC also covers topics related to wound-care management, education and novel therapies, as well as JWC cases supplements, a supplement dedicated solely to case reports and case series in wound care. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed by a panel of international experts, comprised of clinicians, nurses and researchers. Specifically, JWC publishes: High quality evidence on all aspects of wound care, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, the diabetic foot, burns, surgical wounds, wound infection and more The latest developments and innovations in wound care through both preclinical and preliminary clinical trials of potential new treatments worldwide In-depth prospective studies of new treatment applications, as well as high-level research evidence on existing treatments Clinical case studies providing information on how to deal with complex wounds Comprehensive literature reviews on current concepts and practice, including cost-effectiveness Updates on the activities of wound care societies around the world.
